What this job is about

Anyone who has ever watched a sailing movie knows that the best part of being a deckhand is that you always follow orders – which means it's not your fault when pirates take over your ship. As a deckhand, you'll be responsible for helping with day-to-day running of a ship, whether it's moving cargo or assisting the captain with navigational duties. You'll likely be gone from home for long periods of time, so it's the ideal job for someone who wants to travel and knows how to take directions from supervisors
